Hello Again Fr. Mark!
Getting to see you (or any of the Xavier Knoll Fathers we haven't seen
in quite some time) is like cresting a hill, and the first sight you
begin to see is a familiar church steeple, which elicits an
involuntary response - "I'm finally home again!" Just the sight of
any of you, and all that you represent & /do/ for people, gives us
such a feeling of appreciation and fulfillment. Thank you!
Warmest Regards,
Greg Gonia

The Nexus of Mission & Violence Today
The Holy See publishes a yearly account of missionaries killed from year to year. The Xaverian Missionaries also continue to commemorate our martyrs of charity throughout the history of our missionary work in the world. Their lives are selfless accounts of service to the Church and the world, and a poignant reminder of the continued need of reconciliation and dialogue in a world of conflict and power struggle. Read more of Fr. Carl Chudy SX's reflection the Xaverian Missionaries' blog.

Just in time for Mother's Day...
[P]ay closer attention to whom Paul addresses [in his letters] and a surprise emerges: the status of women in the early church in Rome. Specifically, three women: Junia, Phoebe, and Prisca. They are not household names. They are not mentioned from pulpits on Sunday morning. But they were undeniably important to Paul - and to the Christian assemblies in Rome and Corinth, where they were authoritative leaders. Learn more.
